Quote:Are there any items that can't be found in mp on D1 that are in sp?
Quest items and certain uniques. Off the top of my head: Crackrust, The Deflector, Bramble, Lightforge, Gonnagal's Dirk, The Mangler. All of these uniques are low level junk, so MP really isn't missing much.
Quote:Also what items work best for the warrior?
If you've never played one, there's no point giving you a grocery list. In general, you'll want to keep a few things in mind:
The blocking a shield provides is better than any extra damage a two-handed weapon bestows. And you block better with high dex. Max out dex, use a shield, look for +dex equipment. (When dex maxed, pump str.)
At low levels, the BULK of your damage is from your weapon. Blunts (Club-Maul class) do 50% more total damage to undeads (Skeletons, Zombies), but half total to Animals (Fallens, Scavengers, Spitters, most Bats, Horned Demons). Swords (Dagger-Great Sword class) do just the opposite. It's to your advantage to keep a decent Blunt and a decent Sword on-hand for early levels, swapping them as necessary to deal with monsters. After dlvl 6, you can switch to a sword exclusively.
If you want to hurt the monsters you must be able to hit them. Warrior's dexterity is too low to provide all the "to hit" he needs. Weapons with +ToHit% should be sought.
+Light Radius is BAD. I wager this enchantment kills more newbies than almost anything else. (Most) Monsters are activated (i.e. woken up) by the character's light radius. Bigger light means bigger fight. Newbies shouldn't play those odds.
Use intelligent tactics. Don't run into the middle of big rooms. Big rooms have LOTS of monsters. Activate monsters in small, managable groups. Retreat when necessary. Make use of dungeon objects like chests, doorways, and other obstructions to hinder monster advancement. Take as few at a time as you can.
